Here is a little bit from Soster Fox's letter this week.....we hope to get more picturres soon!!
And guess what else I did...... I spoke in church, på norsk!!! Seriously, it went really well. But I spent an hour on the phone with Elder Bagley while he helped me translate my talk to norsk. But my talk went really well I think..... It was on President Hinckley's talk Let virtue Garnish thy Thoughts Unceasingly. So yeah, it was soooo scary but it was good and I am glad that I did it.
We had the best time playing volleyball on Saturday with the Youth and Less actives. 16 people came and so it was sooooo fun! While we were there, this guy walked in wanting to know what time church was at. He is here on business, and guess where he is from???? REDMOND! I know, crazy huh???? He is in the Bellevue 7th ward, but he knows the Cabuligans, and his son is in the singles ward. It was so fun to talk to him. The last name is Calloway, so tell Jessica if she knows anyone with that last name I met his dad. It was funny. He took a picture of me on his cell phone as proof that he met me, and I wrote Jessicas name down for him to give to his son to say hi..... So yeah, cool experiences with Redmond kids all the way here in Norway..... Gotta love it!
Anyways, mom, I hope everything is well with you. All of my leaders are very supportive and have been wonderful to me. I am being taken care of, not just by them, but by the Lord too. He knows exactly what I need and when I need it. I can see His hand in my life every day. So dont worry, I am really good. I will keep you informed as to what is going on here! I love you so much and I miss you more!
Give everyone in Redmond my love!!!
Love Always,Søster Kitty

Kite Day In Stavanger, Norway!!
The following pictures are from Stavanger, Norway at a mission conference. Carrie had lots of fun making kites with the youth, playing games and enjoying the beach! I don't know who this adorable little boy is, but leave it to Carrie to seek out the children and love them!! I am sorry each picture is on a single post! For some reason I can't get this program to upload more than one picture at a time! I will have to talk to Leslie when I am in Seattle!! Janice
Lovin' the Youth!!
Here is a short part of Carrie's letter this week. She continues to struggle with the language. Your faith and prayers on her behalf would be much appreciated. She seems to be staying positive and trying very hard. I know it will come to her, it just takes time and a lot of faith to make it happen.
The members are totally awesome here..... i seriously love them! they love greenies and so for some reason i am the main attraction here! they are all very patient and love helping me, so that is good. i am really good friends with several of the youth here, and i have had a couple opportunities to have some good talks with them. it is kind of crazy how innactive the youth are here.... it is good that i like youth because i am able to connect with them and gain their trust. so i have had a lot of fun with them. this friday was zone conference and we elder zwick of the 70 with us. it was so fun...... he had some great things to say, and i learned a lot from that meeting. apparently he is speaking with president hinckley and elder perry to 76 stakes in utah in a couple weeks. he said that if highland stake was there he would say hi to the fox family over the pulpit.... i told him you would bring a norwegien flag to wave!! it was hilarious, i really liked him. it was cool to be able to talk with him one on one. he was awesome, and his wife was adorable. so yeah, that was my week. other than that, just lots of visiting with the members and less actives, youth, and church, and stuff like that. we did contacting for the first time, scary!!!! i don't understand anything that goes on so it is really hard.
don't worry too much about me, i really am ok. if anything i am just learning a greater dependence on the spirit. so that is a good thing.
send my love to everyone.
